My iPhone tends to remain connected to the downstairs WiFi even when I've gone upstairs and there is a much stronger connection available nearby. I'm not speaking milliseconds, this continues to happen for hours. I usually to turn off and on the wifi to ensure it re-connects optimally. Why isn't this a standard behavior? Forget milliseconds, even a 5-min re-check would be great.

I can't speak for your iPhone or the wifi software version on it, but the problem is kind of tough --- your phone would want to generally avoid hopping around different networks if it can get a decent connection from one, and it's not so clear-cut when you make that decision to check for other networks.

(I agree you make it seem pretty clear though, either it is silly or there are more details to be learned...)

What you want to do is extend your wifi network so your phone considers it the same network. Then it will switch AP seamlessly.
